This year Eat Out magazine editor, Abigail Donnelly, compiled the list of restaurants which are due to take part. Each restaurant will feature a special Restaurant Week Menu and a special set menu price in order for you to enjoy – in fact the number of great restaurants taking part will make it hard for fellow foodies not to sample as many dishes as possible in the designated two week period!
